The material was found to be of good grade; hut per cent. Of the registrants were rejected by the physicians of the local boards and per cent. By the up sur geons as physically unfit for general military service, a total of per cent. The first draft was necessarily a rather coarse, hurried sift ing of the fit from the unfit, and usually did not go beyond the defect sufficient to warrant rejection. The large percentage of abnormalities discovered in men from twenty-one to thirty-one years of age is the rate of the determining cause of rejection and is inconclusive as to the coexistence of other surgical or pathological conditions. For example, for such causes as hernia, goiter or flat foot, quickly discovered defects, the SW tistics of the draft boards are convincing, but for tuberculosis in individuals with goiter or heart disease in men with hernia, they are incomplete.
